egyptian here i just wanted to drop by and say that regardless of whether the phrase sand messi is actually racist or not i definitely dont appreciate it and would have an issue with someone referring to me as sand something its just one of those things where once youve been called sand nigger enough times you start automatically connecting that prefix with a racial slur even if it wasnt its actual intent i cant speak on behalf of all egyptians but i would certainly appreciated it if you stopped using it or at least recognized the potential harm in it and used it more sparingly thanks
